A photographer of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) was praised for his photo depicting image of the Foreign Ministers of the Caspian Sea littoral states in Russia.

Ahmad Moeini-Jam pressed the shutter at the right time and captured the moment of the ministers entering the meeting hall while they were leading each other ahead of themselves to the place, IRNA wrote.

Iran's FM Mohammad-Javad Zarif told reporters at the end of the meeting that the photographer was praised by the foreign ministers and members of diplomatic delegations.

The diplomats have asked the Iranian delegation to send them the photo, Zarif said.

At the 7th meeting of five Caspian Sea littoral states – Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan – the foreign ministers reached agreement on some outstanding issues of the sea's legal status.
